Hi all,
I just wanted to know whether anybody using the Lazarus gtk2 "flavor" (any recent 0.9.27) is experiencing a problem with double-clicks on the source editor just selecting to the beginning of the word but not to the end/right?

Best regards,
Fl?vio

It works here.

Check if your mouse moves?

It works fine for me, except if I move the mouse between the 2 clicks.

More details, try this:

-Doubleclick, but on the 2nd click keep the left button down / do not releas it.
- Now move the mouse

=> Windows, is fine, the current word stays selected, the mouse-move does nothing
=> GTK2 the mouse move acts as if there had be no doubleclick => The selection-end is following the mouse

The most likely cause is that the order of events differs (between mousedown and doubleclick)

I didn't understand this part, but...

... this lead to the answer :) Thanks!
The behavior was almost like you said, except the word was selected then partially de-selected, because the double-click event was triggered twice (without a mouseup/release in between). I hadn't previously thought it could be hardware-related since it's working fine on Windows, but it was indeed caused by a USB hub in the way :-/

Can someone please close the issue I registered?

Many thanks Martin and Mattias!

I also have this problem. In fact I have two mice connected to my computer, and I see the effect with one (a wacom tablet mouse that I prefer) but not the other (a more standard mouse). This behaviour started relatively recently, so it suggestes the gtk2 routines are more sensitive than they should be to the order of events.

Actually probably not order of events, check if it has anything to do with mouse movement.
There seems another issue that causes mouse move to be accepted (where it should not)

use your normal mouse (or the pen, but ensure, you do not move / not even a single pixel)

- doubleclick, and keep the 2nd click (do not release the mouse button).
- now move the mouse, It acts like it was a single click (extending or shrinking the selected area to follow the mouse)

I am fairly sure that I am not moving the mouse with the double click - the cursor doesn't move, and I would expect double click to work some of the time if this was the issue. You are right about it being related to mouse movement - if I move the working mouse too much duing the double click it gives the partial word selection. (Note that I am comparing two mice, one of them from Wacom. A pen is indeed very difficult to double click with.)

Colin

This now works properly for me with both my mice. Thanks to somebody!

A side effect of the new Mouse configurations....

At least we know where we can find more info about this list. :-)

Please, trim the footer before sending a reply.

I ask to trim all unrelated to answer parts. Any who want to look at the previos mail can do this using mail list archives or in the mail program.

Best regards,

Right, I should have said: Please, trim at least the footer, and while are trimming a message, trim the irrelevant parts of the message too.

Vincent

Maybe (just an idea) the footer can start with the "-- " line that is common for sigs? Most mailers will cut it anyway then.

Not just that, trim ALL irrelevant parts of a message. That message consisted of 78 lines of text. The actual reply was only 1 line. So that was quoting 77 lines our of 78. Very unnecessary!! Like Vincent many people before said - if somebody else wanted to read the history of the thread, they can use there email clients or the mailing list archive.

I you guys don't know how to reply to emails, please read many of the email etiquettes available on the internet. Google is your friend.

I am not sure it would help, but we can experiment a bit.

Nothing more, nothing less

Luca, I pressed reply on your latest email, and below is the qouted email. So at least when it comes to Gmail, it does not trim footers / signatures that start with "-- ". The only thing it does do is fold/hide the quoted text at random locations (I can't figure out the exact rule used).

^^^ Is missing a space. There is just "--", but it needs to be "-- " (one trailing space) please.

That's (yet another) gmail fault.
Thunderbird trims everything after the "-- "

Bye

That's (yet another) gmail fault.

Probably why they still keep it as beta software. :-) Gmail can still do with a lot more enhancements - either way it's still handy though.

I tried to add the space, but it seems that the mailman software trims the strings from the configuration settings somehow.
